Abstract
All the villages under Kanke Block were stratified into two groups on the basis of distance from Birsa Agricultural University, number of livestock population and concentration of tribal communities. Fifty tribal women engaged in animal husbandry were randomly selected from each of the four villages viz, churitola, Semertoli, Jiddu and Pussu. The total number of respondents were 200.
Data were collected by personal interview method with the help of a structured interview schedule, informal interview and discussion with the respondents for indepth analysis. Suitable statistical tools and techniques were employed to test the efficacy of the data.
The results and conclusions drawn are summarized below:
1. The tribal women irrespective of acculturated or isolated areas participated in larger proportion (51 %) in Dairy husbandry as compared to Goat (23.5 %) and Poultry (3.5%). Impact urbanization, nearness of agricultural university and popularity of cross breeding programme had influenced this trend.
2.Data regarding participation of tribal women in selected animal husbandry practices clearly supported the view that while male tribal engaged themselves in agricultural operations, service or outward activities, it was tribal women around whom the animal husbandry programme revolves.
